What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 (€645/m²), the apartment is already 15% above comparable Marche listings; adding an estimated €21,400 for habitable-condition work brings the effective cost to about €845/m². Heating and a garage are positives, but the listing is very sparse and does not state the bathroom count, energy class, or building age.
More on the house and the area
The indicative interiors suggest a spacious, bright 107 sqm apartment with modern-looking bathrooms, but they do not establish what the actual home looks like. The generic apartment-block exterior and lack of a visible view or distinctive character provide little dream-home appeal, despite the potentially practical size, heating, and two garages.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€7,000 – €12,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- The listing explicitly says the images are indicative and not photos of the actual property, so condition and finishes cannot be verified.
- This is an auction purchase, with the usual legal, occupancy, and handover risks requiring due diligence.
- The apartment appears to be a standard 1980s building with no proven view, garden, historic character, or distinctive setting.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high running costs.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 58/100This is a hill area of the lower Marche between the Potenza and Chienti valleys, with cultivated ridges, fields and scattered farmhouses. The nearest river landscape is the Potenza valley to the north and the Chienti corridor to the south. Montecassiano itself is a walled hill town, and within this radius Recanati is the nearest larger historic town, with a substantial old centre and Leopardi associations. Macerata is also nearby, with full town services and the Sferisterio arena. The Adriatic coast around Porto Recanati and Civitanova Marche is outside the immediate landscape but close enough to matter for daily logistics. This part of the Marche is known for mixed farming and hill towns between the coast and the Apennines.
